MCCLELLAN'S OWN STORY. Published by
Charles L. Wobter o., New York.
A. D. Mcdonald & Co, publishing
SCENTS, New Orleans, La, have kindly
laid upon the book table this volume,
which is the story by himself of one Of
the greatest men that the most trying
period of this country's history evolved
All those OF either section who admire
true heroism will find IN this man their
hero, great in triumph, great in defeat,
ever animated by the love of a patriot
for his country, never sinking the desire
for public good with resentment for
private wrongs. Through all the
period OF his greetest humiii9-
ton, thwarted and baffled In all his
plans by intriguing politicians, his fidel.
ity never wavered, and in those letters
which have the sanctity of home inter-
course no words Of bitterness can be
found. To charge this book with being
written in q querulous, fsult-fnaipg spirit
is unjust to him who under the most try
ing circumstances was betrayed into no
such utterances. He looked 70 the future
for vindicstion, and what more Just than
